This site will show you how powers of persuasion can be discovered and examined inside Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek. The same holds true concerning Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica. Ronald D. Moore had producer and/or writer responsibilities on three of the Star Trek television spin-off series and two of the Star Trek motion pictures. Therefore, if there is any science fiction television franchise that has earned the right to be called a successor to the persuasive power in Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek, it most definitely is Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica. You will learn here what the 21st century version of Battlestar Galactica has to teach us about the persuasive power of science fiction space adventures on television and in movies. Battlestar Galactica persuades audiences about politics and religion using science fiction storytelling techniques pioneered by Star Trek as explained by writer Woody Goulart.

Sci-Fi Channel Considers Audience Abuse


An online report from the recent Atlanta Dragon*Con quotes Battlestar Galactica’s Jaimie Bamber as saying that Sci-Fi Channel may divide up the final season of the series spanning 2008 and 2009. Do the math. This is a simple way for Sci-Fi Channel to keep making money from Battlestar Galactica after the production shuts down. This possibility is an effective way for Sci-Fi Channel to abuse the audience of Battlestar Galactica. Asking the audience of Battlestar Galactica to wait until 2009 to see all the new epsiodes is a very strange way for a network to reward audience loyalty.
